Effortlessly downloads photos from both posts and stories, but as of a few weeks ago, it no longer works for downloading videos. There are other add-ons that are apparently still capable of this, but it’s a shame that it cannot be done anymore with Instab in particular, as it holds the distinction of being the only add-on that I know of which can successfully download stories from a mobile device, as while it isn’t supported for Firefox Mobile, it actually works great running it on Android via Firefox Nightly! Granted, that’s a workaround rather than an ”official” use that I’d expect support for, but the fact that I can still use it even when I don’t have access to a desktop is a great perk and has been tremendously useful, especially given the ephemeral nature of Stories.

The issue with video stories (and frequently but not always video posts) has cropped up in the past for Instab and was fixed by the dev, and even though it hasn’t been updated in eight months, the same issue also cropped up around four months ago and lasted for a while before seemingly resolving itself, so I can only hope that Instab will return to full functionality one way or another again soon, as it has been the most useful Instagram downloader I’ve ever used.

Work on some post, but not others. Seems random

This used to be working fine but from last one month on mouse over I see a button "Open video in a new tab" and on click it opens the post in new tab and there also no option to download it. But on the same machine when I login to my other account there it works perfectly fine. Not sure why this extension is behaving differently on different accounts. Any suggestion what is wrong?

Works fine for saving stills but with Reels it only saves one still frame, sadly. I haven't tried Stories yet. Edit: saving stills and video now so uprated to 5 stars. Thank you! (still haven't tried Stories, though)

This add-on is useful and simple to use. However, I cannot download any videos from Instagram stories anymore. Why is that and could you please fix this problem? I have to download them with other methods and Instagram always lock my account using the third party apps. Thank you.

Great add-on, but need to fix saving function for story with video due to Instagram changes. Thank's Alan!

Save from stories doesn't work anymore, but thanks for great addon anyways, definitely the best addon I've tried for insta

It would be 5 stars if it worked with videos from stories like it used to, please FIX

Funciona como debe de funcionar! de momento es perfecta!

Doesn't work on video stories right now. It happened before but was fixed after about a day. Hopefully it starts working again soon.

doesn't save videos from stories anymore, please fix

dont working with stories videos.

No funciona !!!

This is the best IG downloader plugin among all other Firefox plugins. Currently it has a problem with story video download but I'm sure the developer (Alan Dours) will fix it soon.
BTW a new feature suggestion: Adding `username` as prefix to saved filenames would be great.

IG story videos are not detected anymore, there is no button for story videos. Only images. Need update.

Is there a bug or something wrong with the app? I can't download story videos anymore, only pictures.

the best and simplest IG downloader.

не працює

very cool, i hope it can download story and profile picture in future

So far so good. I just installed this APP and so far it is working. I have Linux Mint with FF mint Version 001(100)...I have been looking for a new IG D/L since FF went to 100 and my normal APPS won't work. Due to the fact the creator's are not wanting to do the updates for FF all the time. Understandable. Thank you!

De los pocos que sigue funcionando actualmente... otra forma es escribir sfrom.net/+URL pero es muy molesto!
